- ईश्वरांशः, देवपुरुषः
Son Of God
CRITICAL: full phrase required, using परमेश्वर (see ‘god’ entry) rather than bare ईश्वर for the same Advaita-subordination reasons noted under ‘lord’. Conveys eternal, unique Sonship within the Godhead, not a partial divine portion (अंशः, a term also used of avatāra theory, where an avatāra can be described as a partial descent/portion of Viṣṇu — another reason to avoid अंशः here).
